Grafton man killed in Westboro crash

WESTBORO — A Grafton man died Saturday night in a one-car crash, ramming into a pine tree at an intersection where, according to police, it appeared he did not use his brakes.

The wreck occurred about 9 p.m. at Otis and Fisher streets.

Moman Alchokhachy, 73, of 129 Old Westboro Road, Grafton was found behind the wheel of his 1999 Mercury Sable when paramedics arrived.

He was rushed to UMass Memorial Medical Center—University Campus where he was pronounced dead around 9:45 p.m., according to Westboro Police Officer Clifford Luce, the department's accident reconstruction officer.

Officials are also trying to determine if some type of "medical event" occurred moments before the accident. An autopsy is pending, Officer Luce said.

From what police can tell, Mr. Alchokhachy never hit the brakes. He was heading south on Otis Street and failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection. The vehicle headed into a yard and struck the tree.
